What Could Cause Bump On Right Temple?

i periodically get a bump on my right temple. The first couple of times it happened i assumed it was just a strange coincidence that i was getting mosquito bites in the same exact spot, but now it has happened often enough and in varying enough conditions/situations that I m quite certain it s not bug bites. The first one always pops up on the temple, but sometimes others rise up as well (above eyebrow), they show up and then disappear over a period of a few hours. Today I was walking through Target when I noticed it I m completely baffled.

Hi,

These kind of bumps can occur due to an infected sebaceous cysts or enlargement of lymph nodes.

Wash your face regularly with clean water.
Taking vitamin E tablets will help.

A biopsy of the lesion can help you confirm the diagnosis.

Thank you.
